My name is Felix Hastings. I was a detective. Now I’m dead. I’ve become a ghost, lingering around my fiancée, Paisley Taylor. “Paisley, something’s happened. I need your help!” Paisley got a call from Kevin Sinclair. She dropped everything and rushed to him. He was her first love; they grew up together. Whatever he asked, she would do it. I once asked if she only cared about Kevin. She would always impatiently reply, “Kevin and I are just friends. Stop being jealous.” This time, he killed someone and asked her to handle the body. And she agreed. But she didn’t know the body was mine.

“Kevin, this is the last time I’m helping you!” Paisley expertly put on gloves and started erasing the fingerprints. When she saw a scar on the body’s right arm, she worried it might be recognized. So, she used acid to dissolve the scar. Then, she continued checking for other identifiable marks. Out of habit, she narrated while examining, “There’s a scar on his left abdomen, looks like a surgical mark.” Even though we’ve been dating for years, we’ve never had sex. She mentioned she doesn’t believe in premarital sex. I respect her views. So, she doesn’t know about the scars on my arm and abdomen. Kevin got nervous when he heard Paisley. He held his breath and stayed silent. Only after she used acid to erase the scars on the body did he finally relax. “It looks like he’s missing a kidney.” Paisley pressed on the left side of the abdomen, confirming her suspicion. Kevin, worried she might figure something out, quickly changed the subject. “Where should we dump the body after we’re done?” “Just find a random spot, as long as it won’t be discovered.” Kevin agreed and then stared at Paisley. “Have you and your fiancé made up yet?” She snorted. “I don’t want to talk about him.” Seeing her expression, Kevin knew our relationship hadn’t improved. Satisfied with the answer, he said no more. He needed to be sure she still didn’t know I had truly disappeared. A month ago, Paisley and I had a fierce argument. Since then, we’ve been giving each other the silent treatment. No matter what messages I sent, she wouldn’t reply, and she didn’t even come home. After dealing with the body, Paisley stood up and took off her gloves. She glanced at the head of the corpse. The face was completely unrecognizable, not a single part intact. Naturally, Paisley couldn’t recognize me. She asked, “How much did you hate him to destroy his face like this? He wasn’t someone you knew, was he?” Kevin’s heart skipped a beat, and he gave a guilty laugh. “There are other forensic experts in the city. This is all I can do. Be careful.” “I got it.” Kevin nodded and then eagerly pulled Paisley into his arms. “Paisley, I’ve missed you so much.” “Do you know I’ve been thinking about you every single day? I’m going crazy without you.” Paisley was moved by his words. Kevin held her hand. “Paisley, please don’t go. Stay with me a little longer, okay?” With that, Kevin kissed Paisley. She couldn’t resist him. In front of my corpse, she embraced him and they made love. I wanted to rush over and shout, “Don’t do this disgusting thing next to my body.” But my soul passed right through them. No matter how much I screamed, they couldn’t hear me. I was powerless.

Kevin and Paisley’s moans filled the air. I wanted to cover my ears, but the sound pierced my soul. No matter what I did, it was useless. I couldn’t escape. It felt like a curse, my soul was bound to her, and I couldn’t break free. I watched helplessly as my fiancée, the woman I cherished more than my own life, made love with my murderer. I felt so nauseous I wanted to vomit. After I threw up, a spiteful thought crossed my mind: Paisley would eventually realize the corpse beside her was mine. One day, when she finds out she slept with the man who killed her fiancé and even helped him destroy my body, would she break down? A twisted sense of revenge filled my heart. It made me feel a bit better. Paisley and Kevin made love next to my remains for over an hour. Afterward, she went back home. She opened the door to darkness. She turned on the light and walked into the kitchen out of habit. She opened the fridge and grabbed a chilled coconut water. She smelled the stench of rotting vegetables. She covered her nose and cleaned out the rotten vegetables from the fridge. There was still a bottle of fresh milk in the fridge, expiring in a day, produced a week ago. Seeing the date, Paisley naturally thought of the corpse she just saw. She immediately recognized that the body had been dead for a week. The body hadn’t decomposed yet, indicating Kevin had put a lot of effort into preserving it. Paisley shook her head, not wanting to think about why Kevin did it. I watched her standing at my room’s door. After hesitating for a while, she pushed it open. Freshly washed, unfolded clothes were on my bed. Paisley folded the clothes and put them in the wardrobe. While putting the clothes away, she accidentally pulled something out. I instantly recognized it as the ring I planned to propose with. Paisley opened the ring box and saw the ring. After a few seconds of shock, she threw the box into the wardrobe with disgust and left. My spirit followed her, and I heard her angrily say, “So you’re just going to ignore me forever? Fine, never come home. Just die out there!” She didn’t know, I really was dead. The next morning, Paisley was woken up by her phone ringing. My body was found by a sanitation worker. He called the police, and they arrived quickly. Paisley showed up at the scene too. She immediately recognized the body she had dealt with. “Ms. Taylor, the face has been maliciously damaged, and the fingerprints are gone. We can’t identify the body right now.” Hearing this from her assistant, Paisley sighed in relief. Luckily, nothing identifiable was left. “Take the body back first. I’ll go talk to Isaac.” Paisley approached Isaac Whitman, my mentor, to learn more about the body’s identity. “Isaac, the body is badly damaged. It’ll take time to identify it through the remains. Did you find any evidence at the scene?” Isaac was completely clueless. “This isn’t the primary crime scene. It rained last night. We can’t find any useful evidence. This case is tough! And Felix is on vacation right now!” Isaac deliberately mentioned me in front of Paisley. She got a bit angry when she heard my name. “Has Felix contacted you?” Isaac knew Paisley had been upset with me because of that incident. He wanted to help smooth things over. “Isaac, I’m busy. I need to get back to the station.” With that, Paisley turned and left. Isaac watched her walk away, shaking his head and sighing, “I really don’t understand what young people are thinking these days!” Then he took out his phone and called me. “This is strange. He still can’t be reached. Leo, can you try calling Felix?” My soul couldn’t stray too far from Paisley, so I followed her back to the station. Her assistant looked at my body on the autopsy table and sighed, “Ms. Taylor, this killer is so cruel! He was so young, and now he’s dead.” Once she was suited up, her assistant stepped back to give her space. “Ms. Taylor, we have to get justice for the victim!” Hearing this, Paisley’s hand holding the scalpel trembled slightly. I noticed her eyes were filled with tears. She must be feeling guilty for helping the killer. If she knew the body in front of her was mine, how would she feel? She’d probably be happy. After all, her mother, Carol Taylor, died because of me…

A month ago, our police department teamed up with the state government to take down organized crime. I worked overtime for a month straight. I was so busy I even forgot Carol’s birthday. She understood how hard I was working and felt sorry for me for working overtime for a month straight. That night, Carol prepared some desserts and personally brought them to the police station. After I got the call, I was about to go out and bring her in. At the same time, the on-duty officer caught a fugitive and was about to interrogate him. I followed them into the interrogation room and forgot to meet Carol at the entrance. When I finished the interrogation and came out, I saw Paisley storming towards me, furious. I remembered there weren’t any major cases recently, so she shouldn’t have been working late. Why was she here at this hour? Sensing something was off, I was about to ask her what was wrong. She walked up and slapped me. “Do you remember my mom?” It hit me then—Carol had been waiting outside the station for me. “I’m sorry, I’m so sorry. I completely forgot. I’ll go apologize to her right now!” I started to run outside, but noticed Paisley standing still. I was about to ask what was going on when I saw Isaac coming in with a grave expression. “Felix, Ms. Taylor, come in.” Once inside Isaac’s office, I learned that Carol was dead. “Carol’s dead? What happened?” Isaac told me that while Carol was waiting for me outside the station, she ran into some thugs. We had been cracking down on gangs, and I had arrested their leader. In retaliation, they knocked Carol out and dragged her to the roadside. They cut off her arms and legs and dumped them in a nearby ditch. I couldn’t believe Carol was dead. I looked into Isaac’s eyes. He sighed, head lowered. Paisley collapsed onto the table, sobbing uncontrollably. “Felix, you jerk! If you had picked up my mom earlier, this wouldn’t have happened!” Paisley was furious at me when she found out Carol came to the police station to bring me desserts and got attacked by my enemies. I had planned to propose to Paisley next week. But because of this incident, I put the plan on hold. Paisley refused to forgive me and moved out of our shared apartment. She ignored my texts and calls. Even at Carol’s funeral, she had people block me from entering. “You killed my mom. You have no right to be at her funeral.” In the end, I could only say goodbye to Carol from outside the funeral home, facing where her body was laid. I had one lingering question about the whole thing. How did those thugs know Carol was connected to me? Given the nature of our jobs, Paisley and I had warned Carol not to mention us to anyone, fearing our enemies might target her. The surveillance near the police station captured those thugs. I led the team to arrest them myself. But no matter how I interrogated them, they claimed it was a spur-of-the-moment attack. Yet all the evidence pointed to a premeditated crime. After all, no one would be dumb enough to wander around a police station with knives in the middle of the night. I traced the two machetes back to a hardware store. I was surprised to find the owner was Kevin. I showed him the photos of the thugs and asked if he recognized them. He looked carefully, then shook his head and said he didn’t know them. Finding no leads, I turned to leave. As I was walking out, I spotted a gold earring in the corner. It was the one I gave Carol for her birthday last year. The day before she was attacked, she had called me, apologizing for losing the earring. “How did her gold earring end up here?” I picked up the gold earring, ready to ask Kevin what was going on. Suddenly, he pulled out a metal rod and struck my head hard. Before I passed out, I heard a man’s voice behind Kevin. “Kevin, did that old lady tell him about our smuggling?”

Five years after my death, my strong attachment to the living world kept me from moving on, so I stayed in this world, wandering around as a ghost. I stayed by my grandma, Patricia’s side every day. I watched Patricia slowly lose her sanity, unable to accept my death. Eventually, Patricia’s mind became confused and her memory jumbled. Patricia often forgot that I had died. It was heartbreaking to see her make my favorite baked ribs, only to realize she was waiting for someone who’d never come home again. She’d go looking for me at Ian’s place, but luckily, Ian had moved abroad after we split up five years back. So when Patricia knocked, no one was ever there. Lately, Patricia’s been getting worse. One day, she rushed out like usual. I followed her through the shopping street, across the intersection, and into an apartment building. She took the elevator up and knocked on Ian’s old door. That place had been empty for years. I sighed to myself as she knocked again, thinking, “No one’s gonna answer.” But then, out of nowhere, the door opened. Patricia called out the name I’d been dreading to hear, even as a ghost: “Ian! Have you seen Audrey?”

I hadn’t seen Ian in over five years, and he was still as handsome as ever. With time, he looked even more mature and composed. When Ian saw it was Patricia, he became even angrier. He took a step back and sneered, “Audrey? The woman who looked down on me? We broke up ages ago.” Hearing this, Patricia immediately defended me. “No, Audrey broke up with you because…” Worried Patricia might reveal the real reason for our breakup, I tried to stop her. The next second, Patricia rubbed her forehead. Her memory was jumbled, and she kept mumbling, “What? Because of what?” I knew Patricia was having one of her episodes again. Ian looked at Patricia coldly. “Enough with the act. Get lost!” With that, he slammed the door shut. I hurriedly floated over to help Patricia, but I was just a ghost. I could only watch helplessly as Patricia fell to the ground in pain. I stood there, powerless. No matter how much I shouted, no one could hear me. Looking at the closed door, I lowered my head in sorrow. I didn’t blame Ian. After all, I was the one who hurt him first.

Ian has always hated me. He thinks I look down on him and that I heartlessly dumped him, so of course, he wouldn’t meet Patricia. After Patricia was driven away by him, I followed her back to our empty home. From the moment I glimpsed Ian that fateful day, my heart has been irresistibly drawn to him. I found myself retracing our steps to our old university, where I watched him address the students as an accomplished business leader. There he stood on stage, exuding confidence and charisma. His poise and expressions were so refined and captivating that I couldn’t tear my eyes away. As I gazed at Ian, lost in reverie, his towering figure seemed to merge with the memory of the boy he once was. A wave of emotion washed over me, bringing tears to my eyes. I knew our paths could never truly cross again, for Ian’s future was now entwined with another’s… After Ian’s speech, a female student approached him with a book for an autograph. I instantly felt very nervous because Ian absolutely couldn’t see that girl. I instinctively floated over. “Ian, this is my favorite web novel. I heard the author was your classmate. Could you get her autograph for me?” Through the gaps in the crowd, I saw the familiar cover of the book in her hand, and a chill ran down my spine. “Don’t let him see it!” I rushed over to stop the girl, but I was too late. Ian had already taken the book and calmly flipped through a couple of pages. I desperately tried to cover the pages. I didn’t want Ian to read this book. But now, I’m just a ghost. My hand passed through the pages, but the words were clearly visible to Ian. “No, please…” I floated in mid-air, heartbroken. It was true; I had written this book based on Ian and me, but I died before I could finish it. I died before I could finish it. I’ve written our love story deeply in this book. All our beautiful memories from knowing each other to falling in love are tagged with pink happiness. Every word expresses my sincere love for Ian, touching many hearts. I feel heartbroken. To Ian, it must be the opposite, right? Ian probably thinks I’m sugarcoating lies and that my feelings for him aren’t like what’s written. I ruthlessly abandoned Ian, and my love for him isn’t even a fraction of what’s in the book… I didn’t dare look at Ian’s face, but I could hear him flipping through the pages quickly. His pace got faster, sounding extremely impatient. The tension and suffocation made it hard to breathe. I cautiously looked up. Sure enough, Ian was frowning deeply, his face dark. Suddenly, Ian looked up and met my gaze in the air. Ian’s hateful stare scared me, making my limbs weak, and I stiffly floated back. Ian gripped the book tightly, gritting his teeth, and said, “Damn it.” Then he turned and left the venue, telling his secretary, “Contact the author and get the rights to this book. Now! Immediately!”

I went home listlessly, my mind filled with Ian’s furious expression. He must really hate me. So, he wants to find the author and publicly humiliate me, right? “Unfortunately, he’ll never find me.” I laughed bitterly, wiping away my tears forcefully. Muttering to myself, I entered the house, but Patricia wasn’t home. I searched around the neighborhood but couldn’t find her. I even checked the supermarket and market she frequents, but no luck. Panic set in. Where could Patricia have gone? Suddenly, a thought struck me, and I hurried to Ian’s house. Sure enough, Patricia was having another episode. She was at Ian’s door again. She kept knocking and calling my name non-stop. I felt both touched and sad. Despite my attempts to stop her, it was useless. Finally, the door opened. It wasn’t Ian who came out, but a beautiful woman. Seeing her made me feel incredibly down. It was her. It was Julie Anderson. Why was she at Ian’s place? Why was Ian with this woman? Julie was our high school classmate. She had once pursued Ian relentlessly. But Ian said he liked me, so he politely turned her down. Although Julie didn’t bother Ian after that, I never expected to see her at his house years later. I recalled the malicious and triumphant look Julie gave me before she died. I felt incredibly sad, like my heart was being squeezed. It was strange because I was just a spirit. Why was I heartbroken and struggling to breathe? Patricia froze when she saw Julie. Then she frowned, “Who are you? Why are you at Ian’s house? Where’s my Audrey?” Julie raised an eyebrow and looked Patricia up and down, a hint of disdain in her eyes. “Ma’am, there’s no one here you’re looking for. Get lost!” Patricia immediately looked furious. She walked over, grabbed Julie’s sleeve, and tried to pull her out. “You’re a rude girl! Are you trying to seduce Ian? You should leave.” Julie stumbled as Patricia yanked her, her gaze turning fierce. She forcefully shoved Patricia to the ground. “You old hag! How dare you show up here?” “Patricia!” I rushed forward to help Patricia, but my hand went right through her body. Frustrated, I clenched my fists, glaring at Julie, wanting to punch her. Just then, a familiar male voice echoed in the room. “What’s going on?” Julie’s fierce demeanor vanished. She clung to Ian’s arm, crying, “Ian, this madam hit me!” I stared at Julie in disbelief. When my eyes met Ian’s, I felt a deep sadness.

Ian wore ash-gray pajamas, the collar slightly open, revealing noticeable kiss marks on his neck. I stared blankly at Ian’s neck, feeling a wave of disappointment. Are they dating? Ian’s face darkened when he saw Patricia. “What are you doing here again?” “I’m looking for Audrey. My Audrey is missing…” Patricia said anxiously. Suddenly remembering something, she angrily pointed at Julie. “Who is she? Why is she in your house? You betrayed Audrey, didn’t you?” “I didn’t!” Ian suddenly shouted, looking furious. “Audrey’s the one who betrayed me!” Patricia turned pale with fear, waving her hands and explaining, “That’s not true. No. “Audrey didn’t betray you, she didn’t…She just… she…” Patricia clutched her head in pain, unable to remember what happened next. Ian stared coldly at Patricia having an episode, his eyes full of disgust. “Stop pretending! Tell Audrey to stop using you to gain my sympathy! It only makes me sick!” Ian slammed the door shut. The moment Ian closed the door, Julie looked smug, as if she had already won. I clenched my fists in anger, but there was nothing I could do. “Audrey, Audrey…” Patricia’s sobs brought me back to reality. I felt a deep sadness and floated behind Patricia. I weakly wrapped my arms around her shoulders. As if doing so could comfort her. “Grandma, I’m sorry, it’s all my fault…”

After leaving Ian’s house, Patricia got lost again. I followed her anxiously, worried she might encounter danger. Luckily, this time Patricia went straight to the police station. When the police asked Patricia about her family, she thought for a moment. She happened to see Ian’s news on the screen, so she excitedly pointed and said, “I remember him. He’s my granddaughter’s boyfriend.” The police exchanged glances, thinking Patricia was just rambling. However, the officer patiently continued, “Do you remember your granddaughter’s boyfriend’s phone number?” Patricia thought for a bit and then recited Ian’s number. “Alright, I’ll call him now!” Ian arrived at the police station quickly. When Ian saw Patricia, his expression instantly turned cold. “Madam Cooper! Will you ever stop?” he yelled at Patricia as soon as he walked in. The officer frowned, reminding Ian to watch his tone. Ian felt frustrated, but his attitude didn’t change. He continued to accuse Patricia, “You caused trouble at my house earlier, and now you’re here at the station! What exactly do you want?” Patricia sat there, looking aggrieved and shaking her head. “I didn’t cause any trouble. I just wanted to find Audrey…” The officer seemed to notice something off about Patricia, so he pulled Ian aside. “Sir, this elderly lady seems confused. If you know her, please contact her family.” Ian seemed to realize something from the officer’s words. He glanced at Patricia with a complicated expression. After a moment, he scoffed, “I think she’s faking it! She’s a con artist, just like her granddaughter!” I had been sitting next to Patricia the whole time. I overheard Ian’s words. I lowered my head and smiled bitterly. Patricia is such a kind person, yet she’s misunderstood and insulted because of me. Despite Ian’s harsh words, he immediately took out his phone and dialed my number. The phone rang continuously, but no one answered. As the call went to voicemail, Ian grew even angrier. “She doesn’t even care about her grandmother. What a heartless person!” He gritted his teeth, clearly hating me even more. “I broke up with her granddaughter years ago. Don’t come to me with this anymore.” Ian didn’t want to stay a minute longer, so he turned and left. The officer had no choice but to approach Patricia and patiently ask, “Patricia, your granddaughter isn’t answering. Is there anyone else at home?” Hearing this, Patricia seemed to suddenly become lucid. She instantly looked sorrowful. She nodded and cried, “That’s right. My granddaughter won’t answer my calls anymore…She’s already dead…”

The night my sister, Nicole Davis, got engaged to my boyfriend, Isaac Wilson, my life took a dark turn. I was attacked in my own home, brutally assaulted, and stabbed seventeen times. With the last bit of strength I had, I managed to call my mom, Alexis Davis. On the other end, she screamed, “Amelia Davis, all we wanted was a kidney and for you to let Isaac be with Nicole. You didn’t even come to her engagement party. Don’t ever think about coming back home!” The call abruptly ended. Well, they got their wish. I wouldn’t be coming back home. Because I was dead.

To save my father, Sean Collins, who was suffering from leukemia, I had an abortion after five months of pregnancy and donated my bone marrow. However, I later discovered that my younger brother, Jack Collins, was also a compatible match. Everyone had been lying to me. Then, I was reborn, back to the day when I was supposed to donate my bone marrow.

My husband had a child with organ failure with his first love, so he cruelly set his sights on my belly.

After nine years of marriage, Andrew Thorne’s affairs had become routine, with mistresses coming and going like the seasons. I was no longer the Anne Hollister who’d beg and plead for him to change his ways every time I caught wind of his womanizing. He’d barely set sail on his yacht with some internet celebrity before I was off to the beach stargazing with another man. Later, when Andrew spotted me in that man’s arms, he lost it. His eyes blazed with fury as he confronted me. “Anne, I thought you loved me more than anything. “How could you be with another man?”

My parents gave me two hundred thousand dollars for my graduation trip. My boyfriend, Rylan Blake, wanted to come along, so I agreed. On the day we boarded, he showed up empty-handed with his parents and brother. His parents didn’t chip in a dime. They were not even for her underwear; that was on my tab, too. His brother, Alvin Blake, threw a fit at the amusement park, making us miss our train to the next stop. I lost my cool and snapped at the little brat. His parents immediately hardened, and she started scolding me with her hands on her hips. “How dare you yell at Alvin? He’s your future husband’s brother. Whatever he wants, you better provide!” My boyfriend held me back as I was about to retort, saying that his parents had worked hard their entire lives and this was their rare chance to travel, so it shouldn’t be difficult. Fine, fine, if that were the case, I would indulge them. That evening, I booked two presidential suites for them at a five-star hotel and took them out for a luxurious dinner. While they were busy taking photos, I made a smooth exit. At the airport, I was reviewing my travel itinerary while waiting for my boyfriend, Rylan Blake. Suddenly, an unruly child burst onto the scene, jumping and bouncing around. He yelled at the top of his lungs, “Airplane! We’re going on a big airplane!” People he bumped into or stepped on glared at him with annoyance, but he only became more energized. Just then, Rylan appeared in the distance, waving at me. I smiled and waved back. I had been planning this graduation trip for ages, and my parents generously gave me two hundred thousand to have a blast. My boyfriend Rylan, who I’ve been dating for two years, mentioned that he’s never even left the province and wanted to see the world with me. So I agreed to bring him along. Halfway through the trip, I noticed a man and a woman trailing behind Rylan. They gave a thumbs-up to the same kid who had caused trouble earlier. “Olivia, these are my parents, and that’s my younger brother Alvin Blake.” “The three of them didn’t buy plane tickets. Is it too late to buy them now?” Rylan pointed at the three of them, who hadn’t brought any luggage, and looked at me expectantly. His father, Oscar Blake, clasped his hands behind his back and glanced at me expressionlessly. His mother, Wendy Blake, on the other hand, unabashedly sized me up from head to toe. I felt a bit offended. However, Rylan mentioned that his parents had spent their whole life in the countryside. Perhaps their customs were different, and I could understand. The original plan for a romantic getaway for two turned into a trip with my boyfriend’s entire family, and my excitement instantly plummeted. Rylan seemed to sense my displeasure and pulled me aside. “Olivia, my parents worked hard to put me through college, and I want to take them on a trip. “They wouldn’t feel comfortable leaving Alvin home alone. “When I start working and earning money, I’ll take your parents on a trip too.” He spoke sincerely. Although my parents didn’t need him to spend money on them, his intentions were good. It was about understanding and compromising with each other. I nodded in agreement. Knowing Rylan’s financial situation, I took the initiative to buy their plane tickets. After boarding the plane, Alvin was so excited that he was jumping up and down and making strange noises. The other passengers were very annoyed and complained. The flight attendants tried to calm him down several times, but it didn’t work, and Wendy even accused them of meddling. I had to ask Rylan to intervene. When Alvin heard that he might be kicked off the plane, he finally quieted down. However, his parents looked at me with great displeasure. Two hours later, the plane finally landed in Kingstown. The sun was relentless, and the heat was stifling, making us all eager to get to the hotel and rest. As per the original plan, I had only booked two rooms. Now, with the hotel fully booked, we couldn’t get an extra room for Rylan’s family. “How are two rooms not enough? Rylan and Olivia can share one, and the three of us can take the other,” Oscar declared as if it were the most obvious solution. I quickly objected, “Mr. Blake, Rylan and I aren’t married. We can’t share a room.” My parents had raised me to value self-respect and to be cautious about intimacy before marriage. Wendy scoffed, her eyes lingering on my bare legs exposed by my shorts. “You’re with our Rylan now. This is bound to happen sooner or later. Don’t be so prudish.” Her words made me extremely uncomfortable. The others were also giving us strange looks. My already poor impression of them worsened, and my patience finally snapped.

To avoid delaying other guests’ check-in, I pulled them aside. “Mrs. Blake. Rylan and I aren’t married yet. You’re overstepping with such personal matters.” My sharp retort didn’t sit well with Wendy. Just as she was about to blow up, Rylan arrived with water, offering a glass to each of us. When he reached Wendy, she didn’t take the water, only wiping her tears with her sleeve. “Rylan, you’re so successful now, mom’s words don’t matter anymore.” Oscar also had a dark expression, refusing to drink the water. It was as if I had caused them immense grievance while Rylan was away. How could they still be playing these manipulative games at their age? I looked Rylan in the eyes and demanded sharply, “Your mom said in public that I should share a room with you and sleep with you. “Ask any woman here how they’d feel about that.” Rylan didn’t expect me to get so angry and kept apologizing profusely. “My mom is just like that. She has a sharp tongue but a good heart. “She thought having us share a room would save you money.” At least they knew they were spending my money. He whispered something to Wendy, and though she looked reluctant, she came over to apologize for what had happened. Rylan winked at me and put his hands together in a pleading gesture. I didn’t want to stay angry and ruin the trip, so I softened my expression and offered to find them another hotel. Alvin was enjoying the air conditioning in the hotel lobby and refused to leave. So Rylan asked his parents to stay there with Alvin while he went to find another hotel. I was tired and didn’t have the energy to deal with their issues. I took my key card and went to my room to rest. I had booked two connecting rooms, and his parents loud voice could still be heard through the wall. They seemed to be saying they were hungry and wanted to eat and that it was time to take a shower and change clothes. The sound was intermittent, and it was making it hard for me to sleep. Just then, my mom called to ask how my trip was going. I vented all my frustrations from the day, not caring if the people next door could hear me. “Rylan’s mom actually said that to you in the lobby?” My mom’s voice was shocked and displeased. She was a university professor, and she usually interacted with students and intellectuals. She had never heard such rude and disrespectful language. “Olivia, Rylan is a good kid. How can his parents be like this?” I was silent because I didn’t know the answer either. From meeting in a club activity to me accepting his advances, Rylan had always given me the impression of being gentle, courteous, and responsible. He always indulged my little whims and fancies. Besides, he excelled in his studies and was ambitious. My parents met him once at school and were very impressed. They didn’t care about Rylan’s family background; as long as he was honest, dependable, and would love and cherish me, it was enough for them. If nothing unexpected happened, we were going to get married. However, after interacting with his family today, I felt it was better to put the marriage talk on hold for now. After a while, my mom spoke again. “Olivia, if you want a long-term relationship with Rylan, you have to consider his parents and family. “He can pretend in front of you, but what is he like in front of his parents when he doesn’t need to pretend? “You need to see his true character clearly. In any case, Mom will always support your decision.” My nose tingled; it felt so good to be loved by my mom. “Oh, and your dad is busy with the branch office in Kingstown these days. If you have any trouble, just contact him directly.” Just as I hung up the phone, there was a knock on the door. I opened it to find Rylan, sweating profusely, holding a bag of oranges out to me.

After taking a plane or train, I tend to feel nauseous and want to vomit. Eating oranges always helped. He had always been mindful of this little quirk of mine. “Aren’t you going to invite me in to cool off?” Rylan offered the oranges again. I didn’t take the oranges, but I opened the door to let him in. He went on about finding a cheap hotel nearby and asked if I was still planning to visit Kingstown’s famous night market tonight. The thought of the bustling market and its diverse array of goods lifted my spirits. I took the peeled oranges from him, and we shared them. As night fell, the weather cooled down considerably. The night market was a seemingly endless street filled with clothes, shoes, trinkets, and specialties from all over the country. I was having a great time browsing when a vendor grabbed my arm. “Miss, you haven’t paid yet!” He ran a clothing stall, but I didn’t buy anything from him. The owner pointed at Rylan’s parents’ backs. “They said you’d pay.” They were carrying a bag of clothes, and Alvin had a handful of grilled sausages. Seeing my hesitation, the owner grew impatient. “You’re not trying to skip out on the bill, are you?” Rylan stepped forward to explain and urged me to pay quickly. The long bill included underwear, socks, and other items. The total came to 1562 dollars. Then there was the grilled food, which cost 86 dollars. As we continued walking, several other vendors asked me to settle their bills. Rylan, beside me, was excitedly looking around, completely oblivious to the situation. I stopped and said sternly, “Rylan, your parents came to Kingstown without bringing anything. “They’re treating me like an ATM, aren’t they?” Rylan held a pair of shoes Oscar had worn, examining them as he spoke. “Olivia, why are you making such a fuss over this little bit of money? “Your mom gave you two hundred thousand dollars, so what’s the big deal if my parents buy some clothes and shoes?” His tone implied that it was my duty to foot the bill for them. “That two hundred thousand dollars is my money, and how I spend it is my decision. “Who says just because I have money, I have to buy clothes for your parents and snacks for your brother?” Rylan froze, then looked at me with a wounded expression. “Olivia, we’re going to be family soon. It hurts when you talk like that. “Shouldn’t family members support each other? What’s wrong with spending a little money now to make the elders happy? “When I have money in the future, I’ll also take care of your parents.” It finally dawned on me. Rylan was painting a rosy picture for me, like a boss promising future rewards to his employees. He was saying that when he makes it big someday, he would take my parents on trips and shower them with gifts. He was so sure of his bright future that he saw my current contributions as an early investment, something he deserved to receive without any guilt. So, I saw my current contributions as an early investment in him, something he deserved. Yet, he still hadn’t found a job. While everyone else was busy sending out resumes during spring and fall recruiting seasons, he was out wining and dining people, all on my dime. He called it “looking for entrepreneurial partners”. He looked down on ordinary jobs, only dreaming of getting rich quickly and soaring to the top. In a positive light, it was ambition. In a negative light, it was impatience. They said travel was the ultimate test of a relationship. Less than a day in, and he was already showing his true colors. I calm down, deciding to test the sincerity of his words. “Rylan, you’re right, family should support each other. “I have a bit of a headache now, and I’d like some mint lemonade.” With that, I hold my head and squat down. Rylan’s parents kept piling on purchases. Seeing that I hadn’t followed to pay, they turned around and angrily demanded to know what I was doing.

Rylan accused me of making a fuss over nothing. “It is Kingstown, not Butterwort. Where do you think you’ll find mint lemonade here? “Are you trying to ruin the mood for my parents?” Kingstown had mint lemonade; he just couldn’t be bothered to look for it. It was what he meant by supporting each other. It essentially meant I could support his family, but his family couldn’t return the favor. I went along with Rylan’s words. “Fine, I won’t ruin the fun. I’m heading back to the hotel.” I stood up, shouldered my bag, and returned to the hotel alone. The front desk handed me a long bill. It turned out Rylan’s parents had ordered room service. They’d ordered every overpriced dish on the menu. I put away the bills, returned to my room, locked the door, and prepared to take a bath. Between the flights, hotel, and various other expenses, the Blake family had already cost me over twenty-six thousand dollars. My planned trip still had fourteen days left. If things continued like this, I wouldn’t even be able to afford a return ticket. I’d deal with the breakup later. Since I was already here, I was determined to complete my planned itinerary. I hung up on Rylan’s call and went to bed early, deciding to go to the amusement park alone the next day. When I finished my makeup and set off with my selfie stick, Rylan’s parents’ room was still quiet. Finally, I could enjoy myself alone. It was cloudy today, but it was more relaxed than yesterday. In a great mood, I lined up outside the park to get my ticket checked. To my surprise, Rylan showed up with his entire family. Alvin, who had always been rude to me, rushed over as soon as he saw me, begging to ride the coin-operated kiddie ride. “Olivia, please, just let me play for a little while,” he pleaded, lying on the ground and refusing to get up, drawing the attention of both visitors and staff. Rylan knew I hated making a scene in public, which was why he had the owner make me pay the bill last night. He was trying the same trick today, but it wasn’t going to work. I didn’t even glance at him, continuing to wait in line for the ticket check. Because his tantrum was disrupting the order of the amusement park, security had to step in and remove Alvin. It triggered Wendy. She immediately went up and shoved the security guard, who accidentally bumped into her during the struggle. She instantly collapsed to the ground. The park management had no choice but to call the police. Rylan pointed me out as a related witness, so I ended up going to the police station, too. Because of the complicated situation between Rylan, Wendy, and the security guard, the mediation dragged on for two hours without any resolution. Alvin, under someone’s influence, cried incessantly, claiming the security guard had broken his arm. So, we went back to the hospital for another X-ray. The amusement park plan was ruined. We also missed the 3 pm train, and tomorrow’s trip to Oceana was off the table. The ridiculous part was that Wendy actually had the nerve to demand that I pay the hospital bill. “If it weren’t for you, Alvin wouldn’t have been hurt.” I looked at the perfectly fine Alvin and the now useless Disney tickets, my anger boiling over. “Is he hurt? Where is he hurt?” Furious, I grabbed his arm and shook it back and forth. “If he hadn’t been rolling around on the ground at the entrance, I’d be taking pictures and watching shows at Disney right now. “Every time he walked with me, I wanted to find a hole to crawl into, do you understand?” From the airport onwards, Alvin’s bratty behavior annoyed countless people. Only Wendy still thought her child’s wildness and boldness were admirable. Rylan and Wendy swatted my hand away and shielded their younger son. Oscar glared at me fiercely and said, “Alvin is your husband’s brother. You have to give him whatever he wants, or you can forget about joining the Blake family.” They thought the Blake family was some prestigious clan everyone was dying to join. I pulled out a mirror from my bag and held it up to them. “Take a good look. You guys think you’re something special, huh? Chasing after things way out of your league and still not satisfied. “And now you want your whole family to get a piece of that swan. “Well, let me tell you, swans aren’t so easy to fool. Be careful, or one of them might just peck you back to reality.” Rylan came rushing over with the inspection report in hand. He snatched the mirror out of mine, frustrated. “How can you speak to my family like that?”

My college roommate, Bella Lewis, used my photo and identifying information to have an online relationship with a senior in high school, Samuel Johnson. Bella was afraid that Samuel would blow her cover after applying to the same colleges as her, so she mentioned her breakup to Samuel while he was taking his entrance exams. Samuel was so affected by the breakup that he didn’t apply to any of the colleges. Under the influence of his extreme emotions, Samuel chose to take revenge on Bella by sneaking through our college with a machete and hacking me to death on the spot as I had just come out of the library. When Samuel stabbed me over forty times to vent his anger, he went to the roof of the school building to accuse me of how I seduced him, broke up with him before his entrance exams, and neglected him after he was rejected by all the colleges. Samuel jumped off the roof of a building, and he put my parents and the school in the spotlight. Bella, in order to avoid responsibility for impersonating me, she led netizens to do cyber violence against my parents and me by creating rumors. Netizens got too angry and abused me, throwing garbage in front of my parents’ door. In the end, my parents were hit by a car and killed while they were trying to do right by me. Since I died a horrible and unjust death, the fate gave me a chance to be reborn. “Audrey, is my boyfriend handsome?” Bella handed her cell phone to me. In her photo album, there was a young and handsome teenager’s face, and Samuel looked cute and handsome as he looked at the camera. I felt so upset looking at the familiar scene in front of me. I unconsciously took a step back while my roommate, Grace Wilson, who was watching the fun, had gathered around. Looking at Samuel in the photo, we exclaimed that Bella had found such a wonderful boy. Across the crowd, I looked behind Samuel at the high school graduation countdown and the signs encouraging cheering for entrance exams, as if I felt the pain of the several stab wounds I had suffered again. Bella and I were good friends from high school through college. We agreed to go to the same college, and we were lucky enough to be assigned to the same dorm in the same major. Bella and I were inseparable, and we seemed very close. However, my best friend, who I thought was the best friend, ended up causing me to die a horrible death. In my previous life, Bella asked me the same thing if her boyfriend Samuel looked handsome and nice. I was very surprised to see Samuel’s background and asked the question in my mind. “Are you in love with a senior in high school? Isn’t he trying to study hard? Wouldn’t dating affect his studies?” I didn’t realize that this casual question was taken by Bella as me being jealous and sarcastic. Bella retrieved her cell phone in anger. “You’re jealous that I found such a handsome boyfriend, aren’t you?” Immediately afterward, Bella opened her cell phone and found a few pictures of Samuel’s abs and said smugly, “I didn’t like young boys before, and I find mature men more attractive. A young boy is very energetic, and he will treat me like his sister and give me everything he has. Wouldn’t I be charmed by him?” I didn’t argue against Bella at that time, and I just thought she was so naive that I didn’t realize it was the beginning of the disaster. Until my death, I was kept in the dark. However, in fact, Bella used my photo and information to have an online relationship with Samuel, with whom she agreed to apply to our school. When Samuel’s grades were enough to apply to our college, Bella was afraid of meeting Samuel and being discovered by him and revealing the fact that she had impersonated me, so she broke up with Samuel on the eve of his entrance exams. As a result of the breakup, Samuel failed his entrance exams. At the party, all his classmates had received their acceptance letters and were going to college, but Samuel could only clench his fists silently under the table. Everyone said Samuel was unfortunate. If he hadn’t made a mistake, he would have applied to an outstanding college. However, Samuel now had to wait until the following year to continue taking the entrance examinations or go to an unimpressive university. Samuel blamed his failure in the entrance exams on the breakup and developed such a grudge against me that he bought machetes and snuck into my school to hack me to death. He slashed me forty-five times, each time fatally. Looking at Samuel’s insane and unfamiliar face, I wondered why I had messed with him. Bella felt anxious as she hid behind the crowd. In this life, I didn’t say anything, but Grace had already found out who Samuel was, and she asked what I had wondered in my previous life. “Your boyfriend wouldn’t be a senior in high school, would he?” Bella was unsatisfied with Grace’s confusion, and uttered the exact same answer as in my previous life. “So what? He’ll come to our school for college later.” Perhaps seeing that I didn’t say anything, Bella took it upon herself to walk up to me and take my hand as if she and I were the closest friends. “Audrey, you’ll support me, right?” Watching Bella blush in front of me, as if she was shy from being in love, how could I have thought that this was the person who caused my death? When I came back to my senses, I withdrew my hand, my voice hoarse. “You should decide your own business, and it has nothing to do with me!” Bella turned indifferent instantly as she looked at me accusingly. “Aren’t we best friends anymore? Don’t you want me to be happy?” Sure enough, as soon as Bella’s had finished speaking, Grace immediately accused me, “Why are you going so far? Bella, let’s go!”

I watched indifferently as Bella and Grace left the dorm together. They chatted about what they were going to wear to the party with the basketball team at night and what songs they were going to sing to get the boys’ attention. I went to the shower to wash my face and forced myself to calm down. In my last life, after I was hacked to death by Samuel, Grace clearly knew the truth, but Bella lied to Grace that she could use my death to get Grace into graduate school. Grace’s grades were average, and she was working hard to prepare for graduate school. She would certainly prefer to go to grad school for nothing without putting in any effort or getting up early and struggling. For the sake of Bella’s hush money and the lure of graduate school, Grace not only didn’t tell the truth, but she rumored about my private life as a roommate after my death. Uninformed netizens fell for Bella and Grace’s lies. They used my death in an orgy of cyber judgment, and they used cyber violence and actual intimidation against my parents until my parents were hit by a van and killed. The real murderers who killed me, Bella and Grace, stepped over my dead body to qualify for graduate school. After Bella graduated from graduate school, she married a wealthy entrepreneur, while Grace went abroad to further her education. They both lived happily ever after. Instead, I died without an intact body and my entire family died. Why? Thinking of this, my tears flowed unconsciously. In this life, I would no longer pretend to be deaf or dumb to hide the truth. I was going to guard the people I loved, and I was going to make these evil people pay. I wouldn’t let Bella and Grace go. It was March, three months before Samuel’s entrance exams, and Bella and Samuel hadn’t argued with each other yet. I had to use this time to save myself and push the murderers to hell. I should know myself as well as the enemies. After I found out Samuel’s identity through a lot of hard work, I realized that Samuel was unexpectedly in the same high school as I was with Bella. There were no excessive coincidences in the world, and what there were were things that happened. Samuel was two years younger than me, and Bella and I had met Samuel long ago in our senior year of high school. When Bella and I were welcoming the new students to school, Bella noticed this handsome boy right away, and she purposely took me past Samuel’s classroom… However, we were under a lot of academic pressure in our senior year of high school, so Bella just thought of it as her way of relaxing, and I didn’t really take it to heart. Instead, I didn’t realize that eventually Bella would become entangled with Samuel. Bella would secretly use my photos in order to pretend to be me, so the first thing I did was close my Instagram. I wanted to see what tricks Bella would come up with if I didn’t provide the material. Sure enough, when Bella got back to the dorm at night, she immediately found me. “Audrey, why did you close your Instagram?” In case someone opened her album and found all my photos, Bella used to just pick out one from my photos on Instagram and send it to Samuel. Now that I closed my Instagram, Bella didn’t have a material, so how was she going to send Samuel my pictures afterward? I forced a smile and looked over at Bella, “What’s it to you if I close my Instagram? Why do you follow my feed so closely?” My attitude pissed Bella off, but she didn’t forget to pretend to be nice to me. “I thought you closed Instagram because something happened to you, but I didn’t realize you thought that much of me!” If I had heard those words in my previous life, I would have immediately apologized to Bella and comforted her by buying her her favorite gift. However, I just clenched my fists indifferently now and made a point of reminding her, “I thought you were peeking at my Instagram and stealing my pictures.” Bella looked embarrassed. However, it then occurred to her that what she was doing was extremely secretive, and there was no way I would find out, so she straightened her back and pretended to be upset as she explained, “If you really think that about me, I really can’t defend myself in a hundred ways!” Grace couldn’t handle Bella being misunderstood, so she threw a tantrum at me. “We are so unlucky to meet a vicious and disgusting roommate like you!” Watching them get so close, I repeated Grace’s words, “So unlucky…” That night, Bella spent the entire night on the phone with Samuel in the dormitory. She gently pouted to Samuel on the other side of the phone that she had a pimple on her face, so she didn’t send him a picture. Bella promised that she would wait until Samuel’s entrance exams were over to video call him and meet him. As for the fact that she hadn’t been video calling Samuel right now because she was afraid it would affect his study… I couldn’t laugh at Bella’s nonsense, because I died in my previous life because of these lies of hers. But a lie was a lie and truth would come to light sooner or later. l was looking forward to the day Bella was exposed.

When I was reborn, I voluntarily distanced myself from Bella and stopped providing her with any photos. In my previous life, Bella took many videos and photos of me under the guise of recording my life for me. She said she was recording the beautiful life, but she was actually sending all that content to Samuel. After I died, Bella edited my photos to make me look like a leading actress in a porno movie, creating rumors that I was a sugar baby and that I had a messy personal life. Bella couldn’t get my photos and information from my Instagram, and she was afraid that Samuel would notice something, so she had no choice but to take a sneak peek of me. Looking at Bella holding up her cell phone to sneak a picture of me, I purposely made a face. Not only did this scare Bella, who was snapping pictures of me, but the pictures she took were ugly. Bella had been throwing tantrums in the dormitory more and more often lately, and Samuel was not only under pressure from his study, but he also had to take care of Bella’s emotions. If I wanted to ruin Bella, I should have indulged her first. That was when I was contacted by my monitor in high school to ask if I wanted to make a video encouraging seniors in high school. I was studying at a prestigious college. As college students, we used to record encouragement videos for seniors in high school every year. In my previous life, Bella was trying to cheer up her boyfriend when she and Samuel agreed to surprise him in an encouragement video. I had no idea. I filmed the encouragement video with Bella’s deception, and I told the camera, “I hope we’ll stay together and have a great future ahead of us!” This statement made me feel extremely embarrassed. I thought I was encouraging seniors to apply to our school, but I didn’t realize I was becoming a part of this crazy couple’s game. In this life, I could use the opportunity. My relationship with Bella was getting worse, but Samuel still made the same request he made in my previous life to express his love in an encouragement video. So, Bella had to find me. She didn’t dare mention the encouragement video for fear that I would find out the truth, so she found another excuse. “Audrey, I need to film an assignment for my elective coursework, so please help me!” I wanted to reject her outright, but thinking about my plan, I agreed. Bella cheerfully ordered me to change into a white dress and stand under the oak tree at school to say the disgusting lines I said in my previous life. I totally cooperated with Bella’s command and finally got the video she wanted. It was funny to watch Bella send the video to Samuel after she sent it to the monitor. I refilmed the encouragement video and said some secret words in it. A week later, when the monitor was editing the compilation video, she asked me why I shot two videos and which one I needed to keep. I apologized to the monitor and only kept the one I shot, teasing that I must be put in the middle of the video. Once the monitor sent me the edited video ahead of time, she told me that the video would be shown before the exams, wishing them good luck in their exams. I watched the video with satisfaction that I was put first. I was wearing a bright red dress and smiling brightly and widely for the camera. One day, I was about to go to the library to study when Bella angrily pushed open the door of the dorm. She accused me in anger, “Why did you make another encouragement video? Why did you say things like that in the video?” I felt secretly delighted inside as I watched Bella, who was furious. The only way to beat Bella was to pretend to be like her, and it was the only way to provoke her. I pretended to be unaware. “Why can’t I make an encouragement video? Don’t you want me to encourage them?” Bella had nowhere to vent the anger that filled her mind. She couldn’t say she had taken the video, but she thought of something then. “Why did you say that you were always single in the video? Also, you asked them to introduce you a boyfriend. Are you that shameless?” I picked up the book in my hands and said with frustration, “But I’ve never been in a relationship before. You already have a boyfriend, so can’t I just try to find one through a video?” That was right. In the encouragement video I filmed, after encouraging the students to study hard, I announced that I had been single all along. Moreover, I invited students to apply to my college and introduce me a boyfriend. There was nothing wrong with the video, but Bella and Samuel agreed to announce their relationship after Samuel finished applying to college, but now I had made it clear in the encouragement video that I was single. How would Bella lie about pretending to be me? And how was she supposed to convince Samuel?

I entered the delivery room and realized my obstetrician was my ex. Wracked with pain, I groaned, “Can I get another doctor? Anyone but him.” Arthur Hastings spread my legs and said coolly, “If you don’t want me delivering your baby, there’s an easy solution.” I looked at him hopefully. “Just push the baby’s head back in,” he deadpanned. I was speechless. He added, “You weren’t this shy when we used to sleep together.” The other doctors wielding scalpels exchanged awkward glances. I wanted to die right then and there.

After my daughter, Kathy Bowman, was declared brain-dead, my husband, Patrick Bowman, urged me to sign the organ donation agreement. I was drowning in a sea of grief, my mind on the verge of collapse. Then, I discovered, quite by accident, that Kathy’s attending physician, Laurie Guerrero, was my husband’s former lover. They lied, claiming Kathy was brain-dead, tricking me into signing the agreement to harvest her heart to save Laurie’s daughter. I saw Patrick escorting Laurie’s daughter out of the hospital. They laughed together, looking like a blissful family. I confronted them at their door, only to be pushed down the stairs by Patrick and Laurie, my life ending then and there. Now, I have been reborn on the very day I signed that donation agreement. Looking at my daughter lying in the hospital bed, I silently swore to myself. This time, I would make those two deceitful lovers pay. Kathy’s small body was covered in tubes, her pale face marked by a sickly flush. I rubbed my eyes, realizing I had returned to that familiar scene, facing once again the moment that had shattered my heart in my previous life. With trembling hands, I stroked Kathy’s warm little hand. A pang of sorrow hit me, and tears streamed down my face. “I miss you so much, so much… I’m so sorry…” My husband, Patrick, gently patted my shoulder from beside me. “Don’t disturb her anymore. Let’s go; it’s time.” Urged by a nurse, I dragged my weakened legs out of the ICU alongside Patrick. We entered a cramped office, and he handed me a pen. “You’ve seen it all. Every moment Kathy stays alive is pure agony now that she’s brain-dead. “Sign the organ donation agreement. Let the child find peace.” Hearing his casual words, a tide of anger surged within me, drying up my tears instantly. I slammed the pen down on the desk and brushed off his hand from my shoulder. “I’m not signing! My daughter is definitely not brain-dead!” Patrick froze. “Didn’t we already agree? You’ve seen the doctor’s diagnosis. This is the best hospital in the city. What more could you be doubting?” I was furious. I saw right through Patrick’s feigned innocence and surprise at his sinister intentions. In my past life, I trusted him far too blindly. My daughter Kathy had been admitted to this hospital for pneumonia. I never imagined that the attending doctor Patrick had arranged, Laurie, would turn out to be his former lover. Pneumonia wasn’t usually fatal, but after I left for just one night, Kathy’s condition suddenly deteriorated, landing her in the emergency room. I rushed back to the hospital, only to hear Laurie announce that my daughter was brain dead. Before I could even recover from the shock, Patrick was already pushing me to sign the organ donation agreement. “Kathy has always been a kind child. If she knew her organs could save others, I believe she would agree.” I was inconsolable, and under Patrick’s half-coercion, half-persuasion, I signed my name on the agreement. What I didn’t know was that soon after Kathy’s ventilator was removed, her heart was transplanted into Laurie’s daughter. I was consumed by the agony of losing my daughter while Patrick quickly returned to his normal life. By sheer chance, I saw Patrick in an amusement park in a neighboring city. A little girl I didn’t recognize sat on his shoulders, with Laurie leaning close to him. I followed them, seeking the truth, but they teamed up and pushed me from a high building. In a pool of my own blood, I clutched the pendant containing a lock of my daughter’s hair. I had thought about ending my own life many times. But whenever I saw their triumphant faces, the flames of hatred pierced through my weakness. To be reborn at this moment, I felt incredibly fortunate. I realized that fate had given me this chance to avenge my daughter!

Thinking about all this, I wanted nothing more than to slap that deceitful look off Patrick’s face. “I’m taking Kathy to another hospital right now for a full re-evaluation! I will never sign this agreement!” Seeing the fury on my face, Patrick frowned. “Amanda, stop being unreasonable. You went home last night, while I stayed here all night. I saw the entire resuscitation process with my own eyes. “I know this is hard for you, but this is the reality. Can you control your emotions?” I let out a cold laugh. “Are you seriously asking a mother to stay calm when her child’s life hangs by a thread? “And why did I go home last night? I went because your mother said her heart was feeling unwell and wanted me to look after her.” A flicker of annoyance crossed Patrick’s face. “Don’t go blaming my mother or me. This is just Kathy’s misfortune. “You agreed to sign the agreement just now, and now you’re changing your mind. Don’t you think you’re being too emotional?” Seeing his indifferent attitude, I didn’t want to waste any more words on him. I knew the most important thing now was to transfer Kathy to another hospital for a fresh diagnosis and treatment. I understood that the Patrick standing before me was no longer the man who once played barefoot in puddles with our daughter in our small rented room. I pushed the office door open forcefully and headed towards the ICU. At the same time, I dialed a familiar number on my phone. In the seven years since I married Patrick, I had also severed ties with my family. My parents and brother had vehemently opposed our marriage, so I left my wealthy home to move to another city with Patrick. But now, the only ones who could help me were my family, who had always supported me. When the call connected, I didn’t have time to explain much. I choked out a single sentence before breaking down in tears. “Mom, Dad, please save my daughter. She needs to be transferred to the best hospital in the province…” My parents didn’t hold any grudges from the past. They quickly contacted the best medical team in the province. After hanging up the phone, I looked up at the clock on the wall. The transfer team would arrive in two hours. Just then, Patrick rushed over in a hurry. “Amanda, what are you doing here? Stop making trouble and come with me to sign the agreement. We already agreed to it before, and the whole medical team is waiting for us.” I didn’t look at him; I just kept my eyes on the ICU door. Seeing my lack of response, Patrick seemed a bit agitated. “Stop standing there and let’s go. Don’t keep the doctors waiting.” I turned to look at him. “Kathy is still lying in the ICU, and you’re already so eager to take her organs?” Patrick suddenly looked a bit flustered. “What are you talking about? She’s our daughter. How could I be that cruel? “But Kathy is already brain-dead. There’s no hope of her waking up; she’s just a lifeless shell! “Organ donation is a meaningful act. Kathy once said when she was watching TV that she wanted her life to have more value. Isn’t this fulfilling her wish?” Hearing these words, my rage boiled over. A few months ago, Patrick had us watch some documentaries about organ donation. At the time, Kathy was moved to tears. After all, she was so young, so kind-hearted. But I never imagined that Kathy’s kindness and my trust would become the groundwork for Patrick’s plan. I gathered all my strength and slapped him hard across the face. “Get out! I’m not going anywhere! No one is to touch my daughter. I’m transferring her!” Patrick staggered back, clutching his face, looking utterly disheveled. He couldn’t help but shout loudly, “You’re holding onto your own issues, forcing our daughter to stay in this world. Keeping her like this is only causing her pain. What’s the point? “Her muscles will atrophy, she’ll develop bedsores, her whole body will decay. She’ll rot alive! Wouldn’t it be better for her to leave peacefully?” I glared at this stranger of a man standing before me. I knew that beneath his self-righteous words lay a carefully plotted, vicious scheme.

In the midst of the tense standoff, a figure rushed over and grabbed Patrick. “Patrick, Patrick, are you okay?” It was Patrick’s mother, Doreen Bowman. She looked at his swollen face with concern, then turned to me, her eyes blazing with anger. “Amanda! How could you hit Patrick like this? You’re nothing but a shrew!” “Kathy’s condition is hopeless now. This isn’t Patrick’s fault, so stop taking it out on him! “And what’s the big deal about signing a donation agreement? The dead can’t come back! She’ll be cremated in the end anyway. What more do you want? Are you planning to keep Kathy at home forever?” Doreen’s words became more and more outrageous, her emotions escalating. I was livid, my eyes burning with fury, and I slapped Patrick hard on the other side of his face. Dazed by the two slaps, Patrick seemed stunned. Doreen, not expecting this, screamed and rushed to cradle Patrick’s face, filled with distress. I looked coldly at my hand, now reddened from the impact. “Does it hurt? It should. Only a parent feels the pain of their own child!” “Get out of here! If you say another word, I’ll smash you with this thermos!” Doreen’s eyes widened, and her lips trembled with rage. “Shrew! You’re nothing but a complete shrew!” The scene turned chaotic. Patrick, barely containing his anger, demanded answers from me. “Amanda, you’ve slapped me, you’ve yelled, you’ve vented enough, haven’t you? “Now come and sign the papers! There’s nothing more to discuss. You already agreed back in the doctor’s office; you can’t just back out now!” With that, he snatched my phone and forcefully grabbed my arms. With Doreen’s help, they started dragging me away. I gritted my teeth and struggled desperately. Seeing that I was no match for the two of them, I decided to cry out for help. “Doctor! Nurse! Security! They’re trying to kidnap me!” A few nurses rushed over, but seeing it was Patrick, a familiar face, they awkwardly hesitated. Patrick forced a smile. “It’s fine, my wife is just a bit emotional. No need to bother yourselves.” But I refused to relent, shouting, “They were the ones who attacked me first! If you don’t stop them, I’ll keep shouting until every patient’s family comes over to see!” The nurses exchanged glances, then reluctantly stepped forward to separate us. Patrick grudgingly let go of me. My heart finally settled, and I quickly glanced at the time. I thought to myself, “Only one more hour until the transfer team arrives. If I can just hold out for one more hour, I can take my daughter away from here for good!” “Patrick, what’s going on? Why is it taking you so long to come over?” Laurie’s sweet, coquettish voice rang out. She looked at Patrick tenderly and, noticing the swelling on his face, hurried over to examine it. The moment Patrick saw her, all his anger vanished, replaced by a gentle expression. “It’s nothing. Amanda doesn’t want to sign, so we had a bit of an argument.” Laurie looked up at me. At that moment, I knew I must have looked a mess with my disheveled hair and wild eyes. “Mrs. Bowman, your daughter is already brain-dead. You yourself agreed to sign the donation agreement earlier. “The hospital is very grateful for your magnanimity and generosity. I also understand that there’s always a mental hurdle to overcome with such decisions. “Rest assured, though your child is no longer here, her life will continue in another form…” I cut her off, my voice loud and fierce, silencing her hypocritical speech. “You’re lying! My daughter is not brain-dead. Your diagnosis is fake! There’s no way I’m signing anything—I want a transfer right now!” Laurie shook her head, pretending to look hurt. “Mrs. Bowman, I know you’re grieving, but please don’t make baseless accusations, okay? “I worked tirelessly to save your daughter for nearly ten hours, stayed up all night, and now I have to continue treating other patients. And yet, in your eyes, I’m just an incompetent doctor! “We prepared extensively for the signing of the agreement, and the media reporters are waiting. How am I supposed to explain this to them?” Hearing this, the surrounding patients and nurses began whispering amongst themselves. “Dr. Guerrero is one of the best doctors in the entire hospital. How could she have made a wrong diagnosis?” “I think this mother is just too emotional, causing all this trouble.” “Yeah, there’s no sympathy for her. Dr. Guerrero put in so much effort, and she’s still being criticized. This is just unreasonable!” Upon seeing the crowd pointing fingers at me, Patrick’s face showed a hint of smug satisfaction. “Amanda, you’re too emotional right now. Why don’t we go back to the office and talk, okay?” As he spoke, he reached out to grab me. I took a step back, wary. “Don’t touch me!” Laurie signaled to the nurses who had gathered around. Out of nowhere, a security guard appeared, pinning my shoulders and slamming me hard against the wall. Laurie directed the nurses with authority. “She’s too agitated. We need to administer a sedative right away!”

Patrick quickly chimed in. “I’m her husband. I agree!” Seeing the nurse with the syringe coming closer, I struggled in desperation, shouting for help, but no one around me made a move. “Stop! Let her go right now!” Suddenly, a commanding voice boomed across the room, startling everyone. My brother, Stanton Blakely, had finally arrived with the medical team. Taking advantage of the moment when the security guards and nurses were stunned, I shoved them away and dashed over to Stanton. “Stanton, save Kathy!” Stanton patted my shoulder reassuringly and then turned to Patrick, his face furious. “Are you helping these people hurt your wife and child? “Where’s the declaration of Kathy’s brain death? Show it to me!” I couldn’t stop trembling; my back was soaked with sweat. If Stanton hadn’t arrived in time, I might have been sedated or even forced to sign the papers, losing Kathy forever! Laurie composed herself and looked at Stanton arrogantly. “And who are you? “This is an intensive care unit! Where are the security guards? Only family members are allowed here; everyone else needs to leave.” Stanton let out a fearless laugh. “I’m Kathy’s uncle, so I am her family! I have doubts about your diagnosis. Hand over the report!” Patrick and Laurie suddenly seemed flustered. “Why didn’t I know Kathy had an uncle? “Didn’t Amanda say she had no family?” Doreen turned to look at me. Tears welled up in my eyes as I held onto Stanton’s hand. “Stanton, I’m sorry. I was too naive back then, deceived by this man. He’s worse than a beast… Now I know how wrong I was.” Stanton wiped away my tears. “Alright, let’s deal with the transfer first. As for your divorce, I’ll take care of it when we get back.” Patrick suddenly sneered with a mocking tone. “Transferring her requires a decision from Kathy’s biological parents. You’re just her uncle. You don’t have that authority. Even if her grandparents showed up, it wouldn’t matter.” Doreen nodded in agreement. “Exactly, this is a family matter, none of your business!” Stanton’s face darkened as he prepared to speak again, but Laurie stepped forward, blocking his path. “Sir, transferring Kathy requires not only the parents’ consent but also the attending physician’s approval. “As Kathy’s attending physician, I believe she doesn’t meet the criteria for a transfer, so I won’t approve it.” I glared at Laurie with intense hatred. “I’ll write a waiver. My medical team will be responsible for Kathy’s safety during the transfer. It has nothing to do with your hospital! I couldn’t care less whether you approve it or not!” As the standoff continued, the hospital’s director, Dwayne Wilbert, walked in. Stanton whispered to me, “Don’t worry. I spoke with him before I came.” I exhaled deeply, waiting for Dwayne to intervene. Dwayne cleared his throat and began slowly, “I’ve already got a general understanding of the situation. Mrs. Bowman doesn’t agree with Dr. Laurie’s diagnosis, so she refuses to sign the donation agreement and now wants to transfer the patient, correct?” Laurie nodded nervously. Dwayne continued, “Then bring over the diagnosis reports showing the patient’s brain death. Let Mrs. Bowman take a look, and everything will be clear.” Patrick and Laurie’s faces immediately turned tense. Laurie hesitated and tried to explain, “Director, because of the urgency, our team worked through the night saving patients and handling other tasks, so the reports haven’t been compiled yet…” I couldn’t help but sneer loudly. “Not compiled, or not enough time to fake them?”
